Theatre
Sir, —I’ didn't see you at “The Price.” “The Downstage play? No. I’m in Rep. I only go to Repertory plays.” Your daughter wasn’t there, either. "No. She’s in the Group. She only goes to Group plays.” And your son? “A student He only goes to university plays.” Your cousin? “Elmwood. Only Elmwood plays.”, But aren’t you interested, any of you, in see- ' ing good theatre professionally performed? “dh no. We just like belonging to a club, I that’s all.” And what about your, husband? “Jack? He doesp’t belpng to anything. He only goes to see the Minstrels.” Oh, elusive Christchurch theatre-going public, where are you? Call at the nearest mirage, mate, or wait for the next suitably social occasion.—Yours, etc., MERVYN THOMPSON. December 6, 1969.. .
